Soulard residents needed at hearing

The SRG Safety Committee needs Soulard residents to attend a sentencing hearing at 9 a.m. on Friday, June 5 (ending time is uncertain). The case is State v. Anthony Swift, Case No. 1322-CR06073.The defendant pleaded guilty to an armed robbery that occurred in November 2013 on South 11th Street near Russell Boulevard. One of the victims was a Soulard resident.It is critical that we have residents at the sentencing to represent the neighborhood and to show support for the victims. From our experience, it definitely makes a difference to have residents present.If you are able to attend on Friday, please email us at safety@soulard.org or send me a private message with your email address. I’ll send additional logistical details regarding the hearing to everybody who RSVPs.

The Soulard neighborhood, one of the oldest in Saint Louis, is an economically and culturally diverse community located less than two miles south of the downtown area.
